    NICE TO SEE BUT NOTHING SPECTACULAR
    The cross can be seen at the top of Mount Vodno and is accessed by cable car or by hiking. I hiked the Sonje pass from Sonje village which took 45 minutes. It's a giant cross made with metal mesh design and looks around 50 feet tall. It makes for some good photos but in my opinion it's nothing spectacular. However all the views will hide your possible disappointment with the cross itself

    A Great Sidetrip
    We didn't know the cross existed upon arrival, but we quickly learned from the internet that there is a cable car that takes one to the top of the mountain. It's a great ride! And inexpensive! One takes city bus no. 25 from the central bus station (next to the central train station) to a point part-way up the mountain where the cable car starts.

    Fantastic Views
    We came to see this as part of a group tour. We got the cable car up to the top and were simply astonished by the views! What a mountainous region we were in. Great view of the city of Skopje itself too. The cross is pretty cool to admire, one of the tallest in the world!

    Beautiful views
    Great view of the city and surrounding mountains. The cable car ride was nice and had great views. You must try the frozen coffee at the juice bar. It is awesome! The one huge drawback is that there are no restrooms on top of the mountain. Please prepare your bladder accordingly. There are portable toilets down in the parking area.

    Amazing Views of Skopje 🇲🇰
    We went there by Taxi coz we were in a hurry. If you are not, take bus number 25, it will take you there. We then took the cable car up. Beautiful views of Skopje. We enjoyed just being there. There are two restaurants. However, you can take your own food and Picknick on the grass or in the huts. It's a must go!!!!! Wonderful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Good views
    To get there by bus go the local bus station, next to the international one, both under the motorway and get tickets from the grey booth. Only 160 return, my 13 year old was free. Takes 40 minutes. The cable car only runs for 30 minutes then stops for 30. Good view. Avoid rip off taxi drivers.

    Great view of Scopje
    Gray view from the top. Access is done by cabin lift. Bar is present. No toilets are present on the base or on the top of the mountain (also in the bars) . I acceptable in my opinion considering the number of tourists present during my visit.

    Great views but no toilets or food at top!
    Great 360 degree views from top but no toilets or restaurant! Take bus 25 from Skopje centre but only runs roughly every hour, up and back to start of gondola. Buildings at top very run down and gondola only runs every half hour.

    Everything about Millennium Cross
    There is transportation from Skopje Bus Station by bus number 25. You will see a yellow bus, where you can buy a bus pass and use the buses in the city at an affordable price. We didn't take it, we paid 50 denars per person in cash for bus number 25. It brings you to the cable car station in about 20-25 minutes. We paid 100 denars per person for the cable car. There is nothing above except the cross! There's a bad and simple café and it's hard for me to say it's worth all the efforts. If Jesus didn't say he would meet you there, you can devote your time to other activities.

25a is the free bus up to the base of cable car. 100 den (£1) return trip per adult. Views were breathtaking on the cable car. At the top what a mess. Yes views are beautiful but these are detracted from but the immense grot. A good tidy up is desperately needed.
Cable car down was again lovely, but bus trip back to Skopje was hideous. Too many people pushing and shoving so the bus was totally overloaded and left us uneasy but we couldn’t get off even if we tried! Wait by the end of the car park for a taxi is my advice! Don’t get off the cable car either!!

The Millennium Cross is situated on the top of Vodno Mountain to the south of the city. There is a cable car to the top, but I didn't go up as the cable car does not run on Mondays - the only day I was in the city. However the cross can be seen from numerous locations in the centre of Skopje. It is one of the most recent sites, in a city of new constructions, having been completed in 2019.

This is the first and last thing we saw while in Skopje. From our approach on the plane, till taking off on the way out, it lights up the sky. It can also be seen from pretty much anywhere in the city, and adds to a really charming city.

You can see it from downtown, but also take a cable car to get there. From the centre, a cab would cost you around 400 denar, to the start of the cable car, which is 200 denar. Lovely views from above.

Arriving at the funicular by taxi, it turned out that the funicular was not working in the evening. We decided to walk once we were here. We thought we'd make it before sundown, because it didn't seem that far away. But we were wrong the road was very difficult, in places the road climbs so steeply up that you go the whole body on an incline, and one leg should be shorter than the other :) since the incline and sideways too :). Sunset occurred about a third of the way through. The rest was covered in utter darkness on almost four. It's good to be in humorous company, or it would be bad. Everyone was wearing only a half-liter bottle of water, which was split down the throats. The end crawled, took a couple of photos, admired the lights of the city, and also crawled down, which I want to note is not so easy either. The forest, the darkness, lit up the path with a cell phone. The feet buzzed and hurt for another week, and the grated calluses chewed even longer (although everyone had comfortable shoes).

Great views. Caught a cab from the center for $311mkd. Was dropped off at the cable cars. $100mkd for round trip to the top. Very cool 360 views. Not much up top. A few places to grab a beer or soda. Disappointed to see so many street dogs😢. Wish I brought some food. Really sad to see them rummage thru garbage for food. I decided to walk back down to the city. There is a clearly marked foot path. A bit challenging at times (it is steep in some places) but worth the adventure. Took me about an hour. I’m 64 year old female.. felt very safe and enjoyed the solitude.
